Everyone is on the Cutler bandwagon now, yet before the draft, you couldn't go 2 days without a post talking about how "overhyped" he was, and how he was "gonna be the next Kyle Boller". There were posts 5-10 pages long about this (CoolRider) where only a couple of people defended him.

I had him as the best in this draft, and I think he'll be the best out of this group when it's all said and done, with Phillip Rivers coming in a close 2nd.

In due time, Leinart is my choice to be the next great QB. His line isn't good now, but that can change over the course of a year or two with the draft and FA. What he does have is the top WR tandem, a good TE to grow with, and we'll see if Edge maintains, or the Cards draft an RB to help out. He'll also have a good defense when he eventually starts.

When you talk about how franchises were "traditionally" before an impact player went there, how was Green Bay doing for the 20 or so years after Lombardi left and Favre went there? 9ers had 7 losing seasons out of eight or so prior to Montana being named the starter, including consecutive 2-14 years. Bengals had 15 yars or so after Boomer in which they were the Bungals prior to Carson Palmer.

The pain fades and the good memories will remain.

Yep, well had had a good preseason. And we all know if someone has a good preseason it must mean they are going to have a great career.

Wow there are alot of people on the Cutler bandwagon now aren't there?

I've been saying since January that Cutler was the top QB in the draft and that he would be a superstar...

Yes, people JUST started to like Cutler as a prospect, by no means has he had any hype since the end of the college football season.

Anyway, if I had to pick someone and IF EVERYTHING works out perfectly; I'm going to go with Philip Rivers. He has the frame, mind and I'd say arm to survive in the NFL on a year-to-year basis. All he truly lacks is experience and he should get that this year. He already has a solid rushing game and a decent enough aerial attack to do some damage. I never really pick rookies as they usually go into unspectacular places but Cutler and Leinart are to be considered.
